Seibu players aiming to win the Pacific League for the first time in two years in professional baseball will enter Miyazaki before the spring camp from February 1, and Hatsuhiko Tsuji will be held unattended due to the influence of the new coronavirus. Based on that, he said, "It's completely different from what I've been up to now. I can't get excited unless I'm doing well," he said.
Seibu's main players and young promising players arrived at Miyazaki Airport before 2:00 pm on the 31st, before the camp in Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture from the 1st.
Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the welcome ceremony that was held every year at the airport was not held, and Director Tsuji and the players boarded the bus by walking along the specially set aisle.
After that, we visited Yowara Shrine in Nichinan City and prayed for Director Tsuji and Captain Sosuke Genda to finish the camp safely.
After worshiping, Director Tsuji, who was interviewed online, said, "There was no ceremony and I entered Miyazaki, which is completely different from what I've been up to now. He talked about his feelings for the camp.
On top of that, I was hoping for the inspiration of the players, saying, "I want the players who have been regular until now to appeal with the feeling that they will be regular."
In addition, Genda expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "I missed the victory last year and everyone feels frustrated. I want to look forward from the opening and aim for the victory."
Seibu will camp until the 21st of next month while taking measures to prevent infection such as wearing masks thoroughly except during practice and prohibiting unnecessary and unurgent going out, and then move to Miyazaki city to hold practice games.
